Make Cut Flowers Last Two Weeks

Steps

1. 01Cut stems at a 45-degree angle under running water before placing in the vase.
2. 02Strip every leaf below the water line. Leaves rot, water turns murky, stems rot.
3. 03Change the water every three days. A clean vase, fresh cool water, a 2cm trim of stems.
4. 04Keep flowers away from heat sources, ripe fruit (which gives off ethylene), and direct sun.
5. 05Tulips will keep growing in the vase — cut them shorter than you think.
